Alan, Do you have any data which we could start getting some data about how proxies are currently used.
1. How many places are there were we see transitions from Diameter to RADIUS or vice versa? These would be places where we already have a situation where messages might need to be fragmented because of the different sizes of packets. 2. Are you aware of any places where information needs to be translated as they go past proxies in the manner we are talking about where things cross federation boundaries and the data needs to be either validated or modified to fit how the federation thinks about the data? 3. How much routing data is placed into packets today in semi-complex arrangements by proxies? How many of them cache the data locally for the return trip rather than just append data to the message?
